I feel like I've learned something today.

[–]butterp0pcorn 2 points3 points ago

Woah. When did far side cartoons become kosher on the internet? I remember Larson (my favorite cartoonist) fighting vehemently against anybody who posted any of his comics online. I just did a quick google search and they are all over the place now. Nostalgia is about to envelope me for the next few hours...

As someone with a letter from his lawyers asking to pull content down, I can confirm this.

[–]ptowner7711 0 points1 point ago

Such a classic.

[–]tmattoneill -4 points-3 points ago

Technically you can't pull anything. You're always moving it in the direction you're applying the force. Therefore you're always "pushing "

[–]tomoom165 0 points1 point ago

He's pushing against the air with his wings, but he's pulling the goat.

[–]tmattoneill 0 points1 point ago

He can't pull the goat. Pulling isn't a thing.

[–]BigDildo 0 points1 point ago

If this is physics, I'll have to consult my knowledge based on my 2.0 (Physics 101) and my W (Physics 102) grades and get back to you.

[–]tmattoneill 0 points1 point ago

This is physics.

[–]DiaDeLosMuertos 0 points1 point ago

so to you "pulling" means you apply a force in one direction on an object and it goes in the opposite direction?

[–]tmattoneill 0 points1 point ago

Well, pushing means moving and object in the direction in which force is applied. Since the opposite isn't possible, and "pulling" is the opposite of pushing, pulling doesn't exist.

Imagine "pulling" a wagon. You're physically in front of it but the force of the inside of your hand behind the handle is what's pushing it.

Not sure if trolling or just really bad at science...

[–]tmattoneill 0 points1 point ago

Not trolling. Good at science. Just citing fact.

[–]o0banky0o 1 point2 points ago

'pull' is the word used for that type of pushing

[–]tmattoneill 0 points1 point ago

I like this best!

[–]Charnel_Lord 4 points5 points ago

Apparently Gandalf has something against goats.

[–]morguejuice 2 points3 points ago

one does not simply drag a goat off a cliff ...

[–]Vincent__Vega 1 point2 points ago

Apparently one does.

[–]liverbbq 4 points5 points ago

Because fuck you goat.

[–]iLikeMen69 1 point2 points ago

so it has been reposted 4 hours ago and 3 hours ago. Interesting.

[–]BestTastingFish -3 points-2 points ago

When I read this and think of OP, a certain work comes to mind. Starts with an F, and ends with aggot.

[–]damnBcanilive 3 points4 points ago

Eagles are badass.

DAMN...Nature, you scary!!!

[–]Blazlyn 2 points3 points ago

I came here thinking this would be the top comment. I am disappointed at the moment

[–]jjdalette 0 points1 point ago

I hear ya. Its pretty classic. Haha.

[–]crest48 -1 points0 points ago

My thoughts exactly....

[–]YarrrImAPirate 4 points5 points ago

I could not stop laughing at the goat tumbling to it's death.

[–]AlexOfSpades 5 points6 points ago

Pictured that as a pirate laughing, showing a few golden teeth here and there while holding a bottle of rum.

[–]NewQuisitor 1 point2 points ago

And then he discharges a blunderbuss into the barkeep while cackling maniacally

...or discharges his blunderbuss into a barwench while cackling maniacally...

[–]vikhound 2 points3 points ago

That eagle is behaving like a dick-ass

[–]harabanaz 1 point2 points ago

Did Peter Jackson watch that footage?

[–]_wazowski 2 points3 points ago

Eagle 20, confirm the kill.

[–]LugSed 1 point2 points ago

When the eagle gives up and soars off, I pictured him yelling "CAN YOU FLY YOU SUCKER!?!?" in Kevin Bacons voice obviously.

Edit: Kevin Bacon

[–]NewQuisitor 0 points1 point ago

I imagined "MOTHERFUCKA' FLY, CAN YOU DO IT?" in Samuel L. Jackson's voice

[–]pics-or-didnt-happen 1 point2 points ago

It's a hunting technique. The eagle goes down to the base of the cliff afterwards and feasts on goat meat.

Video

/r/nature

[–]BreadstickNinja 2 points3 points ago

I wonder if that first hit knocked it unconscious, or if it was still awake for the second, much longer fall. Plus, an adult goat weighs about as much as a lean adult human, so now I'm scared of eagles.

[–]mjm98 0 points1 point ago

He has to eat too

Ha, there's some hardcore band called RETOX that's opening for Tomahawk on a West Coast tour that uses this as their music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANFqKte5qm8

[–]Qwebo 0 points1 point ago

This is everyones greatest fear in skyrim...

[–]thebombdiggityyo -1 points0 points ago

I'd say "Wow, that eagle was a real dickhead" but the camera angle doesn't show if the goat did some shit to deserve it. Maybe he was like, "Hey Eagle! Yo mama so ugly they made an exception for her on the endangered species list!" And the eagle was like "oh no he didn't!"

[–]IAmHomeless 0 points1 point ago

English is a hard language to grasp.

[–]icard 0 points1 point ago

[–]Troutster 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone realize that is not a goat? That is a deer.

[–]deamont 0 points1 point ago

As much as I want to say this is WTF this is actually how they kill their prey they just drop them off the cliff and then go in to eat the kill.

[–]JuliusGeezer12 0 points1 point ago

Because goats deserve that sweet sweet freedom.

[–]iLovebeer89 0 points1 point ago

this isn't WTF at all.. it's a damn good example an the ingenuity of birds of prey

[–]CheezyWeezle 0 points1 point ago

The goat was like "The fuck?" though. You could tell.

[–]awag 0 points1 point ago

The GOLDEN Eagle to be precise.

Eagles are the police.

[–]Moots -2 points-1 points ago

WOMBO COMBO. THAT AIN'T FALCO!

(For Reference)

[–]Snakeoilsage 1 point2 points ago

Jesus, the guy watching the Hindenberg go down didn't freak out that much.

[–]Moots 2 points3 points ago

If you haven't seen the original, it almost deserves that much excitement. It's an insane combo from Super Smash Bros.

[–]Daboo3 -2 points-1 points ago

I'll have to conclude that the goat didn't provide any resistance at the bottom of the canyon?

[–]johnq-pubic -2 points-1 points ago

That greedy eagle just kept coming back for more and more goats.

[–]NarwhalAttack 0 points1 point ago

It's safe to say that eagle wanted the goat dead.

[–]Badger_Ass_Face -2 points-1 points ago

TIL Eagles are assholes.

[–]Lafingas -1 points0 points ago

Not wtf.

[–]King_Everything 0 points1 point ago

The kills the goat.

[–]Joint_ -4 points-3 points ago

They do that with food that is too heavy and too alive to carry away. If the eagle is lucky, the goat will become bite/snack size when falling down the cliff. Is not, it will probably break some dones, which makes it easy for the eagle to tear of a leg or something. And I though taking a chicking apart was a pain..

[–]Skeeball_Fanatic 1 point2 points ago

English motherfucker, do you speak it?

[–]Joint_ 0 points1 point ago

Yes, I do. Together with a handful of other languages. How many language apart from your mother tongue do you speak if I may ask?

[–]Skeeball_Fanatic 0 points1 point ago

I'm only teasing you bro. There are a lot of typos in your post. I assume English isn't your first language?

[–]Joint_ 0 points1 point ago

Indeed, it's not. I just read trough it again and there are indeed many typo's. Normally I do better, but sometimes that happens...

[–]Skeeball_Fanatic 0 points1 point ago

No problemo man. Like I said, I was just poking a bit of fun. Have a good one.
